Sous Vide for Thanksgiving
Turkey breast, autumn sides, and a sweet finish: choose a sous vide dish or two to complement your Thanksgiving feast.
Keep the dishes your table looks forward to, and give one or two of them a sous vide turn. Sage-butter turkey breast makes a manageable centerpiece; squash, potatoes, and vegetables also earn their place alongside a turkey cooked your usual way.
A turkey centerpiece
A sliced breast is easy to pass around the table and leaves space for your favorite trimmings.

Plan your contribution
Start with your oven plan
If the oven is already spoken for, choose the turkey breast or one vegetable as your sous vide contribution. The turkey still needs its final thermometer check and browning, so leave room for those steps.
Balance the plate
Choose squash for a smooth, gently sweet side or potatoes for a savory one. Add Brussels sprouts for a brighter bite; you do not need every side in this collection.
Give each dish its own cooking plan
These are individual options, not a shared-bath schedule. Read the selected guide's bath setting, size limits, finishing, and serving instructions before you start. The squash recipe is for immediate service, so plan its blending and serving around dinner.
